FREDERICK HARPER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

" MOLD FOR GABBAGE-RECEPTACLE'S.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, F REDERICK HARPER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county ofOook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Molds for Garbage-Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

' My invention relates to improvements'in garbage receptacles and forms for making the same, and has for its object the provision of an improved construction of this charac ter which is'capable of producing receptacles of this character economically and of great eiiiciency. v

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which, Figure 1 is avertieal longitudinal section of a form made in accordance with the invention, Fig. 2, a top plan view of the same, Fig. 3, a transverse section taken on line 33 of Fig. 1, Fig. 4,, afront view of the construction, Fig. ,5, a central transverse section of a modified form of construction, said section being taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 6, Fig. 6, a top plan view corresponding with Fig. 5, Fig. 7, a perspective view of the receptacle made in the form illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, Fig. 8, a longitudinal section of said receptacle, Fig. 9, an enlarged section taken on line 99 of Fig. 8, Fig. 10, a perspective view'of a slightly modified form of receptacle, Fig. 11, a transverse section of the form used in making the receptacle illustrated in Fig. 10, and Fig. 12, a section taken on line 1212 of Fig. 11.

The form of construction illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, comprises two side form members 13 each of which is provided at its rear end with a vertical extension 14:,

as indicated. Front and rear end members 15 and 16 respectively, are'secu'red to the front and rear ends of the side members 13 by means of angle irons 17-and 18, as indicated, the'front member 15 extending the full height of the side members at the front of the form and the rear member 16 extendingthe full height of the side members at the rear of the form. A cross member 19 is extended across the tops of the side members 7 13 adjacent the front edges of the vertical Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 25, 1916. Serial No. 86,787.

extensions 14: and notches 20 are provided in the cross members to correspond with door positions, as best indicated in'FigJ4. The uppermost member 19' of the rear end member 16 is made of a height so that members 19 and 19 may be substituted for each other to provide a receptacle in which the upper doors slide or open rearwardly instead of forwardly, as will appear more clearly hereinafter. Combined'supporting and core strips 21 are arranged with their forward ends in the notches 20 at eachside thereof extending rearwardly therefrom, said strips being provided with laterally extending strips 22 adapted to form grooves for the reception of the sliding doors. Two hollow c'o're'members are arranged to be positioned within the outer form adjacent each other and are supported at their rear ends by means of the strips 21. Each of-these 7 rear of each of said core members being supported by means of angle irons 25 and 26 from the corresponding strips 21; The top 27 of the horizontal forward portion of each of said core members is supported at the rear by means of an angle iron 28 secured to the corresponding forward wall of thevertical extension of the correspond ing core member. A strip 29 is placed along the-outer side of the upper rear wall "of each core member in registration with the corresponding strips 22 so as to produce notches or recessesin the completed receptacle for the reception of the rear end of a sliding door. J

The front of each of the core members is extended through a suitable opening formed in the front wall 15 of the for' m and secured in position by meansof an angle iron 30 at the top and angle irons 31 at the sides, as indicated. Strips 32 and 33 are'arranged across the top at the rearof the front wall 15-to provide recesses] for the accommodation of doors and strips 3 1 are arranged along the forward outer sides of each core member for the same purpose. Pins-35 and 36 are positioned between-the strips 34 and 17 to form 'bolt openings in the walls of the receptacle to facilitate the mounting of the door guides.

some flat surface'and concrete placed in the spaces between the outer form members and the core members, access being given through the front ends of the core members for leveling up the bottom of the receptacle, the spaces between the core members being filled with the concrete and the top surfaces of the concrete leveled off with a trowel or otherwise. WVhen the concrete has set the form members are removed and a receptacle in the form illustrated in Fig. 7 will be produced, said receptacle comprising a horizontal forward portion 37 and a vertically extended rear portion 38, two garbage or ash receptacles being formed therein as indicated. Slidable doors 39 are arranged in the notches and recesses formed by the strips 22 and 29, said doors being positioned on a slight forward and downward incline, as indicated. The vertically slidable doors 40 are arranged at the front of the receptacle, one in front of each of the openings therein. The doors 40 are mounted to slide between angle irons 4L and 52 secured in place by means of the bolts 43, as indicated. The front and rear walls of the form are given a forward and upward inclination so that the receptacle also is provided with forwardly and upwardly inclined front and rear walls, such arrangement facilitating the use of the receptacle when turned up on its rear wall.

The modified form of construction, illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, is arranged to produce two separate and separable receptacles in a single mold and at the same operation, this being rendered possible by the mere insertion of a vertical partition 44 between the core members in the form.

The form of construction illustrated in Figs. 10, 11 and 12 is arranged to provide the top doors opening toward the sides. To effect this-the upper side members 45 and 46 of the form and cores are notched to accommodate form strips 47 provided with later ally extending strips 48 for the formation ofdoor notches. A. cross member 19 is arranged across the side members adjacent the forward edges of their vertical extensions, said cross member sloping from the center toward each side, and the rear wall of the form is shaped to correspond. Strips L9 are placed along the upper portions of the adj acent sides of the core members for the formation of recesses for the accommodation of doors and supporting angle irons 50 are extended longitudinally across the cross member 19 and the rear wall of the form, said angle irons 50 being secured to the upper ends of angle irons 51, as best indicated in Fig. 11. The remainder of the form is the same as before. and a receptacle will be produced having laterally slidable doors 52, as indicated.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred forms of construction for carrying my invention into effect, these are capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I therefore, do not wish tobe limited to the precise details of constructions set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
